Bader grabs second in college 3-point championship

DALLAS >> Oakland’s Travis Bader finished runner-up in the Quicken Loans college 3-point Championship on Thursday night at SMU’s Moody Coliseum. Bader scored the most points through the first two rounds with 45, but finished with 14 in the final round.

“I had an amazing time here in Dallas with an elite group of athletes and I’m happy I was able to put on the Oakland uniform one more time,” said Bader.

Baylor’s Brady Heslip tallied 18 points in the final round to edge Bader. He scored 38 points through the first two rounds.

This is the second time Oakland has recorded a second-place finish in the 3-point championship as former sharpshooter Erik Kangas (2005-09) posted a runner-up finish in 2009 at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
